To Honor, To Celebrate, To Work, To Pray
It is hard to believe that time has gone by so quickly, but Spring has arrived. And with it, as always, has come lots of activity in regard to our work with the young people here at Water Mill. It is unfortunate, but often youth work is framed as something the youth minister does with the teens, usually out of view, and independent of, the rest of the Body. If you see it that way, I would like to invite you to a different point of view – one of active involvement! No, I’m not asking you to come sleep in a cabin in the woods with us, nor to play kickball, or chaperone a lock-in. But as the title above suggests, you can be involved in the lives of our young people in vitally important ways. Consider some specifics here:
To Honor: LTC Presentation & Awards Nights, April 9 & 23. The young people have worked incredibly hard to practice and learn skills that can be used in the work of the Kingdom. Please consider coming to these 2 evening and honoring them for their hard work. Presentation night, you will get to see their work in action, and Awards night you will get to honor them for what they received from the judges at LTC. Be part of our process to affirm to our kids that they are worthy and important in our congregational life.
To Celebrate: Graduation Banquet, May 7. As we do each year, we will be meeting to celebrate with the families of our graduating seniors. It is a difficult part of our work, to see kids grow and mature, and then move on to bigger things! But it is also a challenging part of our work as a congregation, because we have the task of making sure these newly-minted “adults” find their place as needed and important members of our body. Come and let them know you are proud of them, and involve yourselves in their lives to help them find a place in the Lord’s work here.
To Work: VBS is coming, June 11-14. As many of you know, we prepared a wonderful VBS that we took on the road last summer to WV. We were able to see the benefit of such work first hand, and want to do the same thing here. Though our kids are main players, this is not something that is a “WMY” project. This is a community event which will require YOUR WORK! We hope you will put it on your calendar, and be prepared to volunteer in whatever ways you are able! We can make this a great week, but only with WORK from the Lord’s people.
To Pray: Bible Camps. Camp is a special work, which has the potential to, in a unique way, truly change the direction of a young person’s life. Work has already begun on the camps that will happen through this summer season. It takes immense amount of planning and work to make it happen. But, it also requires an immense amount of prayer. Not many of you will have, as we do, the honorable privilege of sleeping in puddles of your own sweat (if you sleep at all), or risking your life on the giant Slip&Slide with barbed wire at the bottom. You should only be so lucky :) But seriously, you can pray fervently for the campers and their directors. From our congregation, Larry Baggett and Tim Stockstill, Alice Buckner, Jason Luna & Travis Morrison, and Bill & Kay all have sessions this summer. Pray for them all.
Thanks for all your support. We depend on you, more than you may know.
